Mexican Tourist Visa: What will I need to get a tourist visa?
Whether you need to apply for a tourist visa ahead of time in your home country or you will receive your visa at the airport or border, there are certain requirements that need to be met. You will need to submit the following documents:
1. A valid passport.
2. A completed FMM duly form (given to you on the plane to Mexico).
3. Immigration authorities may also check the reason for the trip by requesting one of the following documents:
Return airline ticket (itinerary), Hotel reservation, tour tickets, etc.
Letter in Spanish by the company that hired you indicating that you are a current employee and that payments for your services will be provided in your home country.
Copy of the transfer of technology, patents and trademarks, technical training, or any others related to the production process of a company based in Mexico.
A letter from the organization or institution, in which you were invited to participate in unpaid activity in Mexico, stating the purpose of the visit and estimated time of your stay.
An acceptance or invitation letter from the educational institution where you will take courses, studies, research projects or training for a maximum of 180 days.
Mexican Tourist Visa: How do I renew my visa?
A few years ago it was possible to enter Mexico on a FMT (old name for the tourist visa), and then change your status while in Mexico to an FM2 (permanent resident visa) or FM3 (temporary resident visa), allowing you to stay in the country longer. Due to the recent changes you can no longer do that. To renew your tourist visa you must leave Mexico before your visa expires (180 days) and re-enter a few days, weeks or months later. If you are planning on staying for more than six months, or to live in Mexico you might want to think about applying for a different visa that allows you to reside in Mexico for a longer time period, too avoid the hassle of having to leave Mexico ever six months.
